Engaged or Entitled? Study Orientations among Traditional and Non-Traditional Business Students
Vuori, Johanna
Teaching in Higher Education, v26 n2 p165-180 2021
Research on student engagement, study engagement and academic entitlement has followed separate paths. This research examined how the concepts relate to each other among traditional and non-traditional Finnish business students (N = 476). A cluster analysis indicated that students form two clusters. Part-time students, students over the age of 25, students with more than 5 years of work experience and students taking open university courses or studying for a master's degree were more likely to belong to the more engagement-oriented cluster than their comparison groups. Although respondents' student engagement and study engagement scales correlated moderately, only the cognitive engagement dimension of student engagement had a strong correlation with study engagement subscales, indicating that student engagement is a much wider, if somewhat a fuzzy, construct than study engagement. Further analysis showed significant differences between the study and student engagement levels of traditional and non-traditional students.
